Wario Land screenshots

Are you going to download this tomorrow

To get you in the mood for tomorrow's big 3DS download, here are some Wario Land screenshots.

Wario Land: Super Mario land 3 was originally released for Game Boy in 1994. As the final Super Mario Land game, it will complete the set after Super Mario Land and Super Mario Land 2 were released.

Not that Wario Land has much in common with the previous Super Mario Land games, of course. Mario is nowhere to be seen as Wario goes on a mission to collect cash for his big castle fund.

It is better to see it as the first game in the Wario Land series which continued on Game Boy Color in 1998 with Wario Land 2. Wario Land 3 was released in 2000 followed by the brilliant Wario Land 4 on Game Boy Advance in 2001.

It makes us want Wario Land to return on 3DS.

    This is great, I didn't realise it was coming to the eShop so soon. Since I never played the original release, this will be well worth a download.

    I still have the original cartridge knocking about somewhere, so probably not. Good game though!

    Totes!

    I've never played the Game Boy and Game Boy Color Wario Land games, and just completed the Ambassador Wario Land 4 game so it will be good to see where the series started.

    I shouldn't have downloaded that big Wordsearcher puzzle the other day, otherwise the decks would've been clear to download this instead!

    Am getting this, but I really wish the emulations would give you the option of using a Game boy colour.

    Ahh man! I haven't played it in years, but seeing that last screenshot made the title theme rush right back into my ears. I'm totally humming it right now.

    Can't wait for it, I've got a boxed copy at home in the collection but will still be getting this on 3DS FOR SURE! They just need to get the color games rolling and then hopefully gba and NES (are we getting SNES?) I thought it was mainly handheld games but then they started releasing NES games, would seriously love super Mario World for my 3DS played it far too much but always time for a bit more, its been a while ;) also link to the past, super metroid amongst others

    Any news on those 5 sega game gear games that were announced 6 months ago, would seriously love ninja gaiden for Gamegear on 3DS, never forget being so excited one christmas that I opened my present by ripping the paper (of course) just happened to rip through half of the games card box as well, whoops ;( haha I was barely 5 or 6 ;) great game tho

    Tempting, but no. If I could be bothered to put in the effort, I could easily grab one of my game boys, find the cartridge and play it on there.
